Stroke and ischemic heart diseases are among the most common causes of death and disability throughout the world. Even more worrisome is the suggestion that stroke rates may further increase in certain developing nations. The purpose of this article is to review the particular subtype of stroke known as cardioembolic stroke. A cardioembolic stroke occurs when the heart pumps unwanted materials into the brain circulation, resulting in the occlusion of a brain blood vessel and damage to the brain tissue. The etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management of cardioembolic stroke are reviewed.
中风和缺血性心脏病是全球最常见的死亡和致残原因之一。更令人担忧的是，有迹象表明在某些发展中国家中风发病率可能会进一步上升。本文的目的是综述一种名为心源性栓塞性中风的特殊中风亚型。当心脏将不需要的物质泵入脑循环，导致脑血管阻塞和脑组织损伤时，就会发生心源性栓塞性中风。本文将对心源性栓塞性中风的病因、临床表现、诊断和治疗进行综述。
